    Are you using PM? or other software to drive the MCP?

    If PM - try restarting the MCP software. The startup indications will flash on and off, then it should come up after 10 seconds. If not - check your wideserver/clients are connected.

    Also (without PM MCP running) have you tried to use the MCP config software that comes with the MCP. That should bring it to life, even without FS or anything else running.
